The Michelin Guide's own entry for Frevo frames it as an intentionally hard-to-access room: the 16-seat chef's counter sits behind an art gallery in Greenwich Village, and each new month's reservations open on the 1st at 2pm, per Michelin. That once-a-month release means would-be diners get one narrow window to grab a seat before the calendar fills.
Frevo's own site confirms the mechanics -- reservations for the coming month are released on the 1st of the current month at 2pm through Tock, with online booking capped at parties of up to six guests. The restaurant, which holds one Michelin star per its official site, allocates a fixed 2.5-hour window per seating and enforces a strict late policy: guests arriving more than 15 minutes past their reservation time lose portions of the tasting menu, according to Frevo's website.
Neither Michelin nor Frevo's official site describes a walk-in option; with reservations released just once a month for the room's 16 seats, the entire access model runs through that single Tock release rather than any day-of line or standby list.

Reservations: New reservations release on Tock on the 1st of each month at 2pm for the following month, per the Michelin Guide and Frevo's official site.
There's no walk-up wait -- access is governed entirely by a once-a-month reservation release, according to the Michelin Guide, with the full month's calendar opening on the 1st at 2pm and, per Frevo's own site, seats going fast from that moment. Diners who miss the release are effectively locked out until the next month's window.
Yes -- reservations are booked through Tock, and per Frevo's official site, the following month's calendar opens on the 1st of the current month at 2pm for parties of up to six. The Michelin Guide similarly describes the 1st-at-2pm release as central to how hard the 16-seat counter is to book.
There's no reported walk-in option -- neither the Michelin Guide nor Frevo's official site mentions accepting walk-ins, and the restaurant's entire access model runs through its monthly Tock release.
The chef's counter seats 16, per the Michelin Guide, tucked behind the restaurant's art gallery entrance in Greenwich Village -- a small footprint the guide frames as part of the room's exclusivity.
Frevo holds one Michelin star, according to both the Michelin Guide and the restaurant's own website.
